Is youth of 17 or 18 years com petent to select his life career? Should the college freshman go In for all activities possible and try to become a member of as many fra ternities and other organizations as he Is able? , These are some of the questions discussed by William H. P. Faunce, president of Brown university. This educutor also tells how his univer sity proceeds In picking students for the freshman class and how au thorities go about getting some idea of the needs of these students aftyf they have been approved. If I were entering college today, I certainly would not attempt to choose a life career entrance. Boy Does Not Know Ills Capacity. What does a boy of 17 or 18 know about Ills own latent, capacities or the changing sphere of private op portunity and public service. The "limitation of objectives” is a com mon error. Between 18 and 22 a young man la discovering himsell and acquiring wholly new horizons. The college course Is a voyage through strange seas of thought. .Before the voyage begins no sailor can select the single Island on which to make his future home. I I am told that scores of yoimg * men in New York business offices, trained in a “business college,” deeply regret their own narrow ness of outlook. Competent In book I keeping and banking methods, they are yet unable to talk with men i who know history and to run in I one groove, they are bored by li braries and music and art, and are strangers In large sections of Amer ican life. A liberal education should j liberate a man from spending his 'life In a groove. If I were entering college I would try not to join everything In sight. Many college organizations seem brilliant only to outsiders. They of fer the student a pin, a foolish ritual, his picture In the college an nual—and a chance to fritter away his evenings. Outdoor Sport Helpful. I As a freshman I would go tn heartily for some form of outdoor sport—not only for physical de velopment, but for release of the play Instinct, for resting tired nerves, for learning to make quick decisions, Judge distance and time I and chance, to face opponents un terttlied, and toe a gentleman and a good sport. But the moment any game becomes a species of war. It ceases to be play and becomes a useless grind. The process of selecting students for the freshman class ts now one of the most difficult and delicate before our crowded colleges. No longer can we rely on a mere num ber of “points” as certifying that a man Is fit to profit by a college course. He may present points without numbers, but if he is lazy or vicious, if he is a loud-mouthed nouveau riche, if he is destitute or the in stincts of a gentleman or loyalty to truth and honor, we do not want him. Three years ago we introduced a psychological test for every intend ing freshman, and the results are extremely helpful. We also ask committees of alumni in all the large centres of population to meet the applicant and “size him up.” As soon us a student enters he meets our student counselor, Is as signed to faculty advisor, is Invited to meet some representative alum nus in Providence, and in case of any "complex" is sent to the psy chologist who is one of our medical staff. We do not mean that any student shall be lost in the crowd. Need Of Psychology. In our mobile, hurried modern life, the need of phychology and psychiatry Is vastly greater than twenty-five years ago. Matters of temperament, mal-adjustment, dis content at home, sense of infer iority in college, changing moral standrds in society, and religious difficulties—all these things are urgent than ever before, and the specialist who fills the professor's chair may not understand how to I meet them. If psychology has any message for the modern world, it is vitally needed in the freshman year. | I aih old-fashioned enough to be thoroughly opposed to co-education, except as a makeshift until the col lege can afford something better. There are distractions enough with out that. To treat men and women In exactly the same way, academi cally and socially, is to damage both. But I would go further and de cline to treat th<* budding “genius" in. Just the same way as the com mbnplace mind. Through small classes, through individual instruc tion. a tutorial system and through “honors courses” I would give the exceptional mind a chance of ex ceptional achievement. Let some students study eleven months in the year, if they will, be relieved of marks and grades and attendance, and graduate In two W three years if they can. Real democracy means no tread mill, but a chance for unusual minds to reach swift and shining attainment.

Twenty or more shops on Pennr sylvanla avenue are bulging with an infinite variety of Washington souvenirs today, in anticipation of 150,000 or 200,000 visitors expected here for the Hoover Inauguration. These are the shops whence come those strange things proudly dis played by the returned tourrist. A great number of the Washing ton souvenirs are made abroad in Japan, Germany, Italy and Aus tria. Despite tariff walls, foreign novelty manufacturers can sell them cheaper, apparently, than ours. Those tin brass trays, used to receive ashes, calling cards, pins; or collar buttons—or '■'even Just as ornaments—nil profusely decorated with scenes of the Capitol and other Washington sights, are made in, Japan. These trays are always among the best sellers on the ave nue, as are the tiny Washington monuments of marble, with thermo meter attached and selling at 25, 50 and 75 cents, according to size, which are made in Austria. Don't forget your pocketbook, for you can buy almost anything bearing “Washington. D. C.” or a representation of the Capitol, and sometimes both. Tha souvenir shops -are waiting eagerly. Lawrence Miller, one of the shop owners, says that he has just re ceived a thousand varl-colored com pacts for the ladies, on which the Capitol is almost life-size These are very popular all along the ave nue, but your correspondent does not guarantee the quality of the rouge. To the boys Mr. Miller and other shopkeepers hope to dispose of many handsome photos of Hoo ver and Curtis on one side and of the Capitol on the other. Photos always sell well, of course. There's a nice colored postcard of the entire Hoover family, plain photos of Hoover and Curtis, hand somely painted framed photos of cherry blossoms and other Wash ington scenery and a colored calen dar with pictures of the Statue of Liberty, Hoover.

Tires for the new Ford are specially made to give long wear WHEN the new Ford was de signed, it was immediately apparent that a new tire would have to be made to match the car’s perform ance. It was distinctly a new problem, for here was a car with quicker acceleration, greater speed and more braking efficiency than any car of similar size or weight. So that every Ford owner might be assured of maxi mum tire mileage at the low est cost, the Ford Motor Company devoted many months to research and experiment in conjunc tion with the leading tire manufacturers. As a result, certain defi nite specifications were de veloped for tires for the new Ford. These specify cords of certain strength and texture, a large volume of tread and side-wall rubber, sturdy non skid design, and reinforced plies for protection against bruise breaks—all the strong features of construe tion formerly considered for only the largest tires. Though the Ford tires are designated as 30 x 4.50, they have the resiliency and air space of much larger tires because of the drop center rim of the steel-spoke wheels. For best results, the tires on the new Ford should be kept inflated to an air pres* sure of 35 pounds and checked regularly to insure this pressure all the time. This is important. Low in* flation breaks down the side walls of a tire. By causing overheating, it also destroys the rubber that acts as an insulation, with consequent separation of the cord. At the end of each 5000 miles, when you have the front wheels packed with grease, it is a good plan to have the wheel alignment checked. This will prevent premature wear. When punctures come, as they will with any tire, you will find the Ford dealer particularly well'equipped to make repairs quickly and at small cost. See him. too. weat care also was taken to secure the best ridingqual ities in connection with the transverse springs and the Houdaille shock absorbers. tor replacements. Then you will be sure of getting tires built specially for the Ford car according to definite Ford specifications.
